The Friday Faves #23

Happy Happy Friday!

We've got one week of summer vacation under our belts, and only 10 more weeks to go 😜

Let's see how the past week went for us!

As always, linking up with Andrea, Narci & Erika today!


We kicked off the last few days of May with a weekend full of baseball!
We came away with a big win on Friday night, and then we were up early for the official Opening Day parade of teams.

Our Saturday game ended up getting cancelled, so we fit in a practice instead.

We immediately cleaned up and then celebrated birthdays and family the rest of the day.

And I didn't take any pictures :(

I did snap a pic of my new custom necklace from The Sis Kiss that arrived!

Eek! I absolutely love it!
I'm creating a wish list as I type this for other items I now what from their site :)

We blinked and it was Monday morning.
Time for the first of 3 camps this month for X!
This week was basketball camp at our local high school.

X had so much fun and is already asking to sign up for next year!
The picture below is just the 1st - 4th graders that were at camp.
Some of these kids could be on the high school basketball team when X is a freshman!
So exciting to think about :)

My Watch, My Style + A Giveaway

I love having the ability to change out my earrings, necklaces, etc. depending on my mood and what I'm wearing.
Of course I would feel the same way about a watch!
I love wearing my Fitbit, but some days I want to change it up.

I am sucker for natural materials too!
So when I was contacted by JORD about a collaboration I couldn't say YES fast enough!
I picked out a few watch options I liked, measured my wrist, and within a few days my watch arrived.

I was so excited to see which one I had received.
The box it arrived it was so nice!
It can actually be engraved!

Included in my box was a cleaning cloth, a few extra links, and a wood marker for any future touch ups.

And here it is...

It is such a gorgeous watch!
Heck, all the packaging is 😍😍


JORD works with natural and reclaimed materials to make each amazing piece!

I love the tone of the wood, the face...Heck, I love it all!
It is such a timeless piece!
My particular watch is the Frankie - Dark Sandalwood & Smoke.

Most back plates are engravable, and you most faces and watches can be mixed and matched to fit your exact style preference.

Each watch is sized for the recipient.

I sent in my measurement, and my watch fits perfectly!

Side note: I like to wear my watch up a little higher on my arm so it doesn't hit into my computer when I'm working.

So while it may look too big in the pictures, that is how I requested it.

A JORD watch would be a great piece to add to your accessory collection, or to gift to a special someone.

Father's Day is right around the corner 😉

Your purchase of a JORD watch includes a one year warranty, hassle-free returns and exchanges, and FREE worldwide standard shipping!


And now for the best part of today's post!
JORD is offering one lucky follower the chance to win $100 off the purchase of a new watch!

$100 OFF

That is amazing!
Head here to enter today!

Good luck friends!
